Ross Minor

Ross Andrew Minor (born May 29, 1998) is a blind American accessibility content creator and former para swimmer. He is the second son of Mark and Grace Minor with an older brother, Ryan. On June 14, 2006, his father went into his room while he was sleeping and shot him in the head. Minor's father then did the same to his brother before committing suicide. All three were rushed to the hospital where his brother died, while Ross was left completely blind and without a sense of smell. Minor would later attend the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind for three years, become captain of the Bishop John J. Snyder High School swim team, and begin making online media about his story, blindness, and accessibility as a student. In 2018, Minor became a Paralympic swimmer and trained at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
